Power Steering+AN Lines + Cooler=Good times!

Push-lock fittings and hose doesn't require clamps... but I understand the psychology of that 'extra measure' for safety. Now that I look at it again, those fittings from summit don't look like true pushlock fittings (don't see the plastic rings) so the clamps in this case are a good idea.

yea sorry i mis-spoke when i said push lock...i believe the term summit racing uses for these are "twist tite".

push locks are generally used for plastic/pcv type hoses...

and on the clamp situation ideally these fitting would use Oetiker clamps but given the fact that there probably wont be a great deal of heat cycling like in an oil cooler or trans cooler worm gears should work out well.. plus its a major pain in the ass to remove the hose from the fitting w/o cutting the hose or rendering it useless...

on the -6AN lines i had to put the hose in boiling water to aid in slipping it on the fitting.

Thanks!
